A season’s worth of road woes couldn’t spook the Rockies Friday night.
After a fantastic outing from starter Kyle Freeland, Colorado’s shaky bullpen shut the door on the Dodgers and claimed an impressive 4-2 win in Los Angeles. The win improved the Rockies’ record to 59-69 on the season, including 16-47 away from Coors.
The Dodgers, having won 9 of their last 10 games entering the series, were stymied by Freeland, Jhoulys Chacin, Daniel Bard and Carlos Estevez. Following consecutive ugly outings, Bard pitched a clean eighth inning and gave way to Estevez for the save. Despite a leadoff single and a wild pitch, Estevez struck out the side.
